    • Close Pulmonary Embolism

      I am a 20 year old female who has recently been diagnosed with a small PE in my right lung. Dr's kept saying that I had panic attacks, but I knew something was wrong. Finally a different hospital ran bloodwork and a CT scan to find the PE. They have no idea why I have the clot. My risk factors include family history, birth control pills, and a recent plane ride. I had no clots in my legs. I will be tested for genetic factors in 6 months. I am here because I tend to worry very easily.

      Treatments

      Lovenox Working / Worked
      I was on Lovenox for a week. I was allowed to go home, and my mother gave me the shots. My pulmonary specialist says that my levels are therapeutic, so I can stop taking the shots.
      Coumadin Too Soon to Tell
      Currently taking 6mg warfarin daily. I will be on it for 6 months minimum if I do not have a genetic disorder. I noticed that I was very tired when taking it during the day. I have since switched to taking it before bed. This helps.
    • Close College Stress

      I am a college student, undergoing the normal balancing act of family, relationship, school, work/money,along with pulmonary embolism. This is my 4th year of college, and I am planning to be a Speech/Language Pathologist.

    • Open Healthy Relationships

      I love my boyfriend, and want our relationship to be as strong as possible! He is 9 years older than I, and we have been together nearly 2 years.

      Treatments

      He has patience..I don't! lol
      Talking Working / Worked
      Talking about our difficulties (mostly with opening up to each other and our expectations) really helps us to become closer. This works best when we are snuggled up!
